Hashomer Hatzair’s Judaism is a stream
of Judaism and is based on the Jewish culture and our humanistic approach. We
place the individual in the centre of our Jewish worldview. Our morals derive
primarily from our sense of responsibility and respect to humankind. We believe
in and practice a form of active Judaism that encourages everyone to give
personal meaning to their Judaism within the Shomeric community.

Our Judaism draws upon the vibrant
culture, tradition, history and legacy of the Jewish people and connects us to
our heritage. We view Jewish sources as inspiration and open for critical
interpretation.

Our approach stems from a thorough
understanding of Judaism and the development of a contemporary, meaningful way
of expressing our Judaism.

Educational Practice

We provide our Chanichim with an
opportunity to find their own access and approach towards Judaism and strive to
shape confident individuals who found their place in Judaism and feel connected
to their cultural heritage.

Hashomer Hatzair extends knowledge in
Jewish heritage, classical and modern Jewish literature and teaches about
Jewish history, culture and traditions. The Shomeric activities fit the Jewish
cycle of life including traditions.

Hashomer Hatzair members will
constantly review and, if needed, renew the Jewish traditions according to the
current philosophy of the Chaverim.

Our Judaism is open to every person
that feels part of the ideals and is willing to take part in it. Every
behaviour that does not follow the principles of secular Judaism can be kept at
the condition that it does not contradict the organization and progressing of
the activities.
